MLB looks to test minor-leaguers for human growth hormone

Major League Baseball is planning to begin blood testing of minor league players for the banned substance human growth hormone later this year, anti-doping sources told Reuters on Wednesday. Major League Baseball said it was consulting experts on the issue "concerning immediate steps for our minor league drug program" but a source familiar with the plans said he understood the tests would definitely be implemented. "The commissioner remains committed to the position that we must act aggressively to deal with the issue of HGH," MLB said in a statement to Reuters adding that it was also considering "the next steps for our major league drug program". The decision to pursue the testing follows this week's announcement that a British rugby league player had been suspended for testing positive for HGH, which boosts performance. Although the blood test has been used at the Olympic Games and elsewhere since 2004, the British announcement marked the first positive test for HGH in any sport from a blood sample.
